maybe if you have long arms, get up inside the engine bay from underside??

[Jim Mcrae]

Just pull the cable ****ing hard and it should open

i havent done the 4 bolts on the bonnet its only closed down. so what do i have to do just leaver the spring about with a flat head till it pops?

[nacho mcnova]

hold the leaver in the car and get sumbody to thump the front of the bonnet and it should pop up.

Just pull the cable ****ing hard and it should open
....or come off the handle lol

Its possible to get to it from underneath but you need to be quite flexible

[CoolTiger]

or could be ur bonnet out of place since u undone he hhinges keep the cable pulled while getting somebody to move the bonnet about
